Hello All You Art Enthusiasts !
Hey, friends!
Welcome!!
Oh, we are loving our new room! We love all our space!! It was good to see many of you at our open house!
4th and 5th grades are learning to apply math skills with symmetry and perpendicular lines to create containers for a still-life. We are now adding color using a chosen varied or monochromatic color scheme with emphasis on value, highlighting, and shading. Our materials are oil or chalk pastels. We are embracing five art elements...line, shape, color, value, and space as well as the principles of balance and unity according to the art content standards.
2nd and 3rd grades have finished their clay tiles and are in the process of painting and mounting them. They look awesome! Next, they will paint their pinch pots. We have discussed where clay comes from and its uses in everyday life as useful or decorative items. Hey..Look up the Chinese pottery army and Native American Pueblo story telling dolls
1st grade has finished their still-life paintings and procedures for painting. They now are creating a new complete composition on their own.
Kindergarten finished their life cycle of a butterfly or moth and their projects to accompany the topic. We will next work on birds, their anatomy, and habitat.
All these projects cover a plethera of elements and principles in art as topic disciplines according to state and national standards for art education.
If you have a chance, listen to "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. It is a song about those things seen and done without words. It reminds me of "listening" and "reading" a child's accomplishments poetically.
March is Art Month...do some art at home.
Add crayola artist and the colored pencil sculpture artist to your web hunting.
THANKS FOR VISITING ME!!
See you on the sidewalk!
Mrs. Meador
